DEAR GOOGLE ADSENSE TEAM, THIS PAGE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF PLACING ADSENSE ADS IN AREAS THAT ARE “ENCOURAGING ADDITIONAL CLICKS”.

Does your video camera record capture .MOD files in 16:9 but displays 4:3 in Windows Movie Maker? Well, here’s a solution: Several camcorders that record to an internal hdd store video in files with a .MOD extension.  Unfortunately I couldn’t import these directly into Windows Movie Maker. To get the footage into Windows Movie Maker find a program called SDCOPY .  By default my Canon FS100 records in widescreen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).  However, it doesn’t properly set a flag in the .MOD file to indicate this so several programs (including GSpot codec appliance) report th...

I’ve seen SEVERAL posts asking the question “Will Rock Band 1 Drums Work With Guitar Hero World Tour on the Playstation 3?”. So got thinking for my next YouTube video…providing the answer! Below you’ll find my YouTube video of playing Rock Band Drums with World Tour. Enjoy!

Yes! I can confirm that Rock Band 1 drums will and DO work with GUITAR HERO: WORLD TOUR on the Playstation 3. Today I found Rock Band 1 drums for $29.99 @ Futureshop. A GREAT price no matter how old the technology. If you can find the same deal or better, I urge you to pick up your own drum kit. Of course, this is if you already own Guitar Hero World Tour and guitar.

Here’s an email I received about ripping dvds from your collection into digital format for your ipod. I recently purchased an Iphone.  I would like some software to convert dvds to digital copys.  i see a lot of free software online.  im just not comfortable downloading free software.  is there any thing that u recommend that is free and easy to use.  also i dont mind buying something if it is easy to use.  what do u recommend   thanks for the help, carlos Thank you very much for your email Carlos. The best software I found for ripping dvds is DVDFab. I tried it once to rip a movie to take along with me in my ipod. Very easy to use but it’s not free. I can tell you it’s available on the torrent networks, but I think that’s all L’m allowed to post. Let me know if this solution works out for you. Thanks again.
